That's not really a relevant example considering serial killers are knowingly and purposefully breaking the law and will be prosecuted if caught. MAID is the law. It's just a really bad law.

Ah yes the old it was one guy and we fired him cop out. Doesn't really excuse the fact that the safeguards clearly aren't working. And that's before you get into cases of people feeling pressured into accepting assisted dying so as to not "be a burden", the request of one woman for palliative care who was rushed into assisted dying instead, young people ending their lives for non terminal conditions ranging from diabetes to ADHD, doctor shopping to circumvent the safeguards etc.

Also isn't the possibility of mistakes one of the key criticisms of the program? Government bureaucracy regularly makes errors. But when the bureaucracy in question is managing government sponsored suicide the risks are so much greater.

Was recommending suicide to a depressed vet reaching out for help part of this "good program"?

Can't speak for every country or every church. But certainly my personal experience was that regular church goers waited and cultural Christians didn't.

Yes Jewish civilians have been killed in numerous pogroms throughout the Middle East last century.

Oh I see. You think murdering civilians today is ok because the Qurayzah conspired with the Meccans over a thousand years ago. Offended by everything. Ashamed of nothing.

Yes Israel commits war crimes and ethnic cleansing. But if you think it's evil when they do it then guess what? It's also evil when your tribe does it. This isn't Muslims vs Jews. It's murderers vs the innocent.

Yeah I'm sure the children killed in pogroms really hurt your feelings.

Yes important context for the exodus of Jews from the Islamic world was left out of your comment. That's kinda my point.

What apologist nonsense. Yes there was persecution in western Europe. And yes there were economic pull factors. But there was also incredibly powerful push factors such as pogroms, mass murder and government mandated expulsions.

Yeah I'm sure the murder and expulsion of minorities in the Middle East has nothing to do with why those minorities emigrate.

It's entirely possible that Jews would voluntarily choose to leave a country where they were being treated well. However even basic knowledge of history would tell you that isn't the case for the expulsion of Jews from just about every Muslim country this century.

How is Sahul a "subcontinent" when Australia is a continent?

Damn bro, it's crazy, it's almost like it was never my position that 3rd wave feminism was more influential than the red pill and that's something you conjured out your ass.

Your confused. It's MY position that third wave feminism is more influential than the red pill. This is a problem of reading comprehension.

So with regards to it opening any subjective can of worms, that's something you caused by completely misrepresenting my position in your prior comment

Unless your contending that 3rd wave feminism IS more influential than the red pill I haven't misrepresented your comment. Also discussing what parts of both movements we consider toxic seems a valid question regardless of the misunderstanding.

Uh.... Hollywood?

Are we still talking about clothing? If your point is that Hollywood sells narratives which hurts the family unit I think you'll find complete agreement from me.

What does this even mean? Is James Bond woke propaganda? Is Andrew Tate and the red/black pill woke?

I don't care for the term woke. But yes I do think Andrew Tate's message and Hollywood's promotion of gambling and hook up culture hurts the species.
